Statement from Cardinal Thomas Collins Regarding Jean Vanier

An investigation has revealed very disturbing behaviour by Jean Vanier, revered and loved by so many, both in Canada and around the world. The news is tragic and heartwrenching.

We pray for the victims of abuse, mindful of their immeasurable pain and suffering.

In the midst of this darkness, we find a ray of light in those who so faithfully serve in L'Arche communities worldwide and have dedicated their lives to friendship, care and love.
